THE news that an Iowa missionary has
been eaten in Africa would be more hor-
rible were it not that it necessarily comes
by cable. News coming by cable in these
days is accepted at considerable discount
till corroborative evidence can arrive by
steamer. Iowa missionary as a dish has
ITS drawbacks. Even the untutored Afri
can would draw the line at Iowa mission
airy. There are about 1000 chances to
one that the report is utterly false, and,
until confirmed, friends of the supposedly
cooked gentlemen will do we'll to reserve
their tears. If the sad rumor shall be
substantiited the fact most prominently
set forth thereby will be that a Calling
gun or two should precede the missionary
in shedding light in upon the b~enighted
heather. The light ought to shine right
through them.

A wreck on Sable Island deserves at
tention because of its bearing upon a
problem now deeply interesting seafarers
the world over. 1t happened in 1916,
and Superintendent Darby is our au-
thority. A wild gale had suddenly
sprung up, and he and his men were
patrolling tho beach, when they deserted
"A large schooner running right down be-
fore the storm dead on to the lee shore.
The sea was breaking everywhere as far
rs the eye could reach, and it seemed
impossible for any vessel to live in it for
n moment; yet on the schooner came,
passing breaker after breaker uuiniured,
the extraordinary thing being that, al
though the huge waves raised their curled
heads almost to the top of her masts, and
the fall of any of them upon her deck
would have crushed her like an egg shell,
not n seemed permitted to touch her.
On the contrary, as if by a miracle, the
sea became smooth ere it reached her,
and she left a shining track behind.
After. some minutes of thrilling suspense,
she was hurled high and dry upon the
beach, and every one of her crew rescued
uninjured.
Then came the explanation of the
strange phenomenon which had SO mys-
titled Superintendent Darby. Two large
casks filed with fish oil had been dashed
in the fore rigging, and, securely lashed
beside them, two OF the strongest sailors
in the crew., with long wooden ladies in
hand, had been throwing the oil high up
in the air, where it was caught by the
wind and carried far to leeward in adj
vance of the vessel, spreading over the sea
with such effect that, while it was raging,
pitching and breaking all about her, not
a barrel of water fell Upon the Amos
deck. 1 believe this may with safety be
claimed as one of the earliest recorded in-
stances of the practical application of oil
to the troubled waters. -Scribner's Maya.

and the relatives of victims of the Bussey
bridge disaster. Thirty two suits have
been brought by ons attorney already,

Unwilling m Indian Idol.

A rock which the Sioux Indians neal
Fort Yates, D. T., have worshiped for
generations as the petrifed form of q
young squaw, was formally unveiled the
other day and dedicated to peace and
plenty. 1t appears that the white settlers
in the vicinity have long supposed that
this specimen of natures art work exert
ed a restraining influence on the Indians,
but of late the rock has been removed
from its original resting place and it was
feared that with its removal its charm
had disappeared. So the suggestion was
made to Sitting Bull that the statue be
placed upon a permanent pedestal and un.
yelled with appropriate ceremonies. This
pleased the chieftain and 5000 Indians
assembled to take part in the strange
medley of Christian and pagan rites by
which the unwilling was accompanied

NEIGH, Neb.. tried prohibition and it
did not work. 1t is being tried again on
a limited scale and will work no better.
Thirty-f five Neigh girls, to whom reports
accord beauty most rare, have pledged
themselves not to have anything to do
with men afflicted with small vices. They
will not swing on the gate with the fellow
who smokes. The swain guilty of chew
ing must abiure the weed or the aggre-
gated loneliness of this moral band. None
of the latter will ever enter the gilded ice
cream saloon under escort of a breath
tainted with liquor. None of them will
ride with him whose giddy fingers ever
grasp the seductive cue of the billiard
room. The combination will not last long.
Either the girls will be driven by loneli
ness to relent or they will see the young
men desperately drowning sorrow and re
lent to save them from utter destruction.
Prohibition though backed by dire penal
ties will not prohibit Even %petticoated
comeliness will strive in vain to enforce
what is unconstitutional, and shuts of

Car, Of tho Kero.ea. Lamp.

Why does oil stink in use in the lampsi
you ask. 1 will tell you, if you would
like to know. Now, with tho best oil
that is made you can produce a gas in
your house that will make the atmosphere
as disagreeable as it is unhealthy. In I'll
LAMPS, where proper and complete COM
bustion is maintained, there is no per-
ccptihle odor from any quality of oil sold
in the market. But the trouble is, when
people want to leave a house or a room
for n time and keep q light burning, they
turn down the wick. This is done for
economy in most instances, but there is
not only no economy In it, as l shall show
you, but there is also danger to health
and life. Now, when you light a lamp,
there is at first q time when the flame
viii not burn high without smoking; but
after the lamp and chimney are properly
heated and a full supply of oil is estab-
iished through the capillaries Of the wick
a strong flame car be maintained. Now
if, with this supply established, we turn
down the wick, while there is a limit to
the flame of the wick, owing to its de-
crease of burning surface, the supply of
oil continues in the same ratio, what is
not consumed in the flame being volatil-
lied into gas, which is carried out with
the ordinary products of combustion into
the air of the room, vitiating it -and max
ing it very unhealthy to breathe.
Now here, in my opinion. is the basis
Of lamp explosions, and if the proper pro-
portion of atmospheric air gets into a
chimney, or is blown into it, an explosion
is sure TO result. In my opinion, most of
the explosions of lam.Ns, SO called, occur
by explosions in the chimneys. A lamp
should never be turned down. 1t should
mover be put put by blowing down the
chimney. 1t can be easily extinguished
by simply blowing across the top of The
chimney, and a very little practice will
show that this is the easiest and best way.
After blowing out, the wick should be
turned down inside the tube, to prevent
the oil flowing over. A close attention
to the methods l have indicated will, l
;.m sure, prevent most, if not all, the acct
dents from explosions Of kerosene oil, and
save many lives, as well as many thou
sands of dollars worth of property every
yeer.-Boston Herald.

So nervous and irritable has the car
become that the causes of his troubles
must never be mentioned to him in any
way. In order to obey his wishes in this
respect, the very newspapers he reads
have to be specially prepared. lie now
receives no other papers but those ex-
pressly printed for him; the veriest penny
magazines of old, containing at best a few
in~offensive dispatches, the rest being made
up of society gossip and theatrical notes,
with at best a leader or two thrown in,
recounting the blessings of his autocratic
government, without an over strict adj
herence to truth in their enumeration.
The editor of this special sheet, to which
the car is the only subscriber, and which
appears in q single number, saw no harm
in inserting the reports of the festivities

car to exclaim sadly: II shall never live
to reach fourscore years and ten, and have

THE annual parade of the New York
police force took place last week, and
2.400 men, or about two thirds of the
entire force, were in line. Along a route
of at least five miles the sidewalks were
crowded with enthusiastic spectators, who
cheered vigorously. Such little incidents
as this are well calculated to discourage
anarchists and all the less violent enemies
of society who hate the police and would
destroy, if they could, all forces used to
prevent riots and curb lawlessness.

silver product of this country is about

THE price of Rio coffee has advanced
l20 per cent during the past twelve
months, and it is generally attributed to a
decreased production in Brazil. This has
not been demonstrated, however, and the
real cause of the rise is doubtless the man
ipulation of the crop by a powerful coffee
clique. Coffee drinkers can easily bring
the combination to grief by swearing off
for six months. Such a process would
make a big difference IN the price.
